In the absence of comprehensive databases that compile the current published records of tick diversity and distributions, the information from hundreds of articles remains in isolation, incapable of being easily incorporated into surveillance gap analyses and tick-borne pathogen risk modeling.

Almost 80% of collection events involved ticks removed from nonhuman vertebrates. Approximately 12% of collection events included evidence of an associated microbial species, including 17 bacterial genera, 3 eukaryotic genera, and 16 viruses.

While Morocco, Nigeria, and Senegal report numerous studies concerning tick diversity, certain regions appear oversampled, while reports from other regions are largely absent. Information on the ticks of Sierra Leone and Niger remains largely uncharacterized. Across all target countries, reports are heavily biased toward sampling and testing ticks collected from domestic animals. Future tick surveillance efforts need to include sampling and testing of ticks collected from the environment and wildlife species to obtain a more complete assessment of tick distribution and tick-borne pathogen ecology.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Graphical Abstract<\/jats:title>\n                  <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1186\/s13071-025-07153-8","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2025,12,4]],"date-time":"2025-12-04T16:25:34Z","timestamp":1764865534000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1007\/springer_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":4,"title":["A compilation of ticks and tick-borne pathogen distributions in seven countries within North and West Africa from 1901 to 2022: a systematic literature review"],"prefix":"10.1186","volume":"19","author":[{"given":"Graham","family":"Matulis","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Alexander M.","family":"Potter","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Abigail A.","family":"Lilak","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"David B.","family":"Pecor","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Dustin","family":"Rodriguez","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Liberty","family":"Wood","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Regina","family":"Cerimele","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Kenna","family":"Stone","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Nora G.","family":"Cleary","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Kathleen","family":"Butler","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Yvonne-Marie","family":"Linton","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Michael E.","family":"von Fricken","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"297","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2025,12,4]]},"reference":[{"key":"7153_CR1","unstructured":"Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development.
